BusyIndicator: AnimationException is thrown when removing the control from the visual tree

The issue seems related to an animation timing problem in combination with the internal usage of the ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames class instead of BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames.

The exception message is:

Cannot animate the 'IsEnabled' property on a 'System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl' using a 'System.Windows.Media.Animation.ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames'.

The exception stacktrace:

System.Windows.Media.Animation.AnimationException: Cannot animate the 'IsEnabled' property on a 'System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl' using a 'System.Windows.Media.Animation.ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames'. For details see the inner exception.

To work this around, you can extract the ControlTemplate of RadBusyIndicator and replace the ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames that animates the ContentControl.IsEnabled property with a BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames.

	<BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Duration="00:00:00.001" Storyboard.TargetName="Content" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Control.IsEnabled)">
		<DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00">
			<DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame.Value>
				<sys:Boolean>False</sys:Boolean>
			</DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame.Value>
		</DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame>
	</BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
